Control is what convinced me to replace my 580 with a 6600XT.

Can't say i replaced my GPU, but finally managed to crawl out of the laptops only ecosystem I was in (thanks to work/ costs etc). However due to pandemic and scalper related supply issues I could only manage a humble rx550 2gb card in the end (after months of troubles).

That said I first booted up Mad Max having bought it a month prior on its release here - and followed up with Control, witcher 3 and many more games.

The thing that made me happiest though was building the damned thing. Even put my back out doing it (because everything in this house is too small for me).

Cried like hell when it booted up, cried more when mad max launched and without issues.

So... thats me!

The first game I started up for the GTX 1070 was...I wanna say was Either Steel Division 2 or Metro Exodus.

For the upgrade from the 650 to the 1050 ti, I wanna say was The Witcher III.

The first game I played on the 650 was either Torchlight or The Witcher, I bought it to play The Witcher 2 though.

I cannot recall very well because it was a while ago, but the first game I played when upgrading to the GT 8500 was either Battlefield 2 or Medieval II...or maybe Age of Empires III.

I ordered (well went on waiting list to order) a RTX3070 in sept 2020 hoping it would arrive before CP2077 went live.

It didn't

I eventually got the card in Feb 2021

While it ran nice enough on my GTX1070, CP2077 was the first game I ran on the RTX.

Detail level didn't disappoint, wasn't floored by RTX ON at the time, but with patch 1.5 and the Neon turned to 11 it looks gorgeous!

My last big upgrade came a few years ago and I remember the first game I booted up was Arkham Knight, which I had gotten for free from a Batman Day Giveaway a few years before but did not have rig capable of running it smoothly.
